[This is from the Spinal Injury Conference]

Just to input something here. I have this simi-common problem that
is causing me great pain and problems. I am currently in the
National Guard & A Correctional Officer. Both jobs are in jeopardy.
The pain makes walking a job in its self. Numbness in the inside
right side of my foot. I had a MRI and the Dr wanted to fix the
problem. 4-6 months in bed after the operation and no telling how
it will help the problem.

I know there are greater spinal problems out there. I have been
living with this for over 18 years. Constant pain and limited
movement. (37 Years old)

It first came up while in the Army and nothing was done. I had a
choice one time. It was I could have it fixed but with a 50% chance
of never walking again. I did not accept that offer.

One day I completly lost all feeling from the waist down, falling
on my face. It only happend once though.
